What are the steps of self-installation? A: DSL is self-installable as described below.
Step 1 – Install DSL Filters DSL filters, also known as microfilters, allow the DSL signal and your regular phone signal to share the same line. These filters keep the DSL signal from interfering with your phone service. You will need to plug a DSL filter into every phone jack in your home that is being used by a phone, fax, or any other device. You will then plug the phone or other device into the DSL filters. We will provide you with five DSL filters. Installing them is as easy as plugging in your phone. Step 2 – Install DSL Modem If you don’t already have a DSL modem, you may order one as part of your service, including detailed installation instructions. With some computers, you may need to install an Ethernet card. If your computer requires an Ethernet Card you will need to purchase one at your local computer store and insert it prior to installing your DSL service.
